Brand & Marketing Executive - Part Time
Help shape the next chapter of a successful Cumbrian business.
For over 35 years, Riverside Recruitment has been helping businesses find great people and supporting candidates throughout their careers.
Built on strong relationships, local knowledge, and a commitment to doing things the right way, we have developed a reputation as a trusted recruitment partner for businesses across Cumbria and the North.
As we look towards the next stage of our growth, we're looking for a creative and commercially minded Brand & Marketing Executive to help us continue building a brand we're proud of.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an established business with a strong reputation and play a key role in how we communicate our story, our values, and the experience we bring to our clients and candidates.
The role
This is much more than a content creation or social media role.
We're looking for someone who understands how great marketing builds reputation, strengthens relationships, and helps people connect with a business.
You'll help bring the Riverside Recruitment brand to life by creating clear, engaging, and consistent marketing that reflects who we are, what we do, and the value we provide.
Working closely with the leadership team and wider business, you'll help create marketing that showcases our expertise, celebrates our people, and strengthens our relationships with clients, candidates, and our local community.
Key responsibilities
- Supporting the development and delivery of Riverside Recruitment's brand and marketing activity.
- Creating clear, consistent, and engaging messaging across all marketing channels.
- Developing content that tells our story, highlights our expertise, and showcases the people behind the business.
- Writing blogs, articles, case studies, and thought leadership content.
- Creating engaging content for LinkedIn, our website, email campaigns, and other digital platforms.
- Supporting client and candidate marketing campaigns.
- Capturing stories, photography, and video content that brings our brand to life.
- Ensuring our brand identity remains consistent across all communications and materials.
- Supporting website development and campaign development.
- Reviewing marketing performance and identifying opportunities to improve engagement and reach.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
